Why did you choose USQ for study?
I was selected in the Darling Downs
Panthers team for the QLD State
Netball League, and studying at USQ
meant I could represent my region
and study at a university with a great
reputation for teacher education.
What are the best things about
being an Elite Athlete at USQ?
I have been really well supported
so I can balance my commitments
and study with my weekend travel
commitments.
How has the Program assisted
you throughout your studies?
I can easily balance my studies with
sport, because the lecturers understand
my training and study commitments,
and I can discuss my requirements
for assignments and study with my
lecturers and course examiners.
What advice can you give to
other Elite Athlete students
thinking of studying at USQ?
USQ will help to make your study
journey as smooth as possible, by
helping you balance your sport and
your learning. Finding your rhythm
with your commitments and your
study is so important!
What are your future goals?
I will graduate with a Bachelor of
Education (Primary) at the end of the
year, so I’m hoping to get a job as a
teacher in a primary school, where
I can continue playing high level
netball.
